This is the only answer that made any sort of sense. But I still don't know for sure what this thing is, so I'm only giving 3 points. All I do know is that I am never doing a text of this nature again. Anyway, many thanks for your efforts, one and all.3 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

bogie rotation range limiter

Explanation:As far as I can tell "ausdrehen" refers to the rotation of the bogie or the rotation of the wheels in relation to the bogie in train jargon (try googling for "Drehgestell" and "ausdrehen"), so it's most likely a mechanism to limit said rotation. Just guessing, though.
